Why money is more important than Environment?

          Money is more important than Environment, because if  I have money, I

can  raised at all. Money is something that indispensable and money is one of

many  factors in human life. All human need to spend money, it can buy

everything :  big house, convenience or everything what human want. If don’t

have money, it making difficult to life.

Why environment is more important than Money?

          Environment is more important than Money, because if don’t have

environment, it would be flood, drought, landslides, and rubbish will happen in

the world. Environment reduces air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution,

and noise pollution. If don’t have environment everybody in the world will

dead, because money can not buy love, can not buy sincerity, and the last

money can not buy your life.

Learning Log inside (Week 6)

Today is the sixth times for study curriculum English teaching management. I learnt about the words that related how to do lesson plan. The teacher told that English lesson plan is emphasize to standard. There are five words that the teacher taught.

          First, Aims are broad statements of what learning you hope to generate. The aim is the point of the whole thing to determine an aim for your lesson, focus on what part of the curriculum who teaching and how to going to achieve teacher’s goals for the students.

          Second, Objectives are the smaller steps that will help the teachers achieve their main aims. Break down their aims into small steps that will lead the teacher and the students to the end goal. It includes Enabling objective and Terminal objective. Enabling objective is lead purpose. It’s often less broad in scope than terminal objectives. Terminal objective is destination purpose. It’s based are reasonably broad in scope.

          Third, Assessment and Evaluation. Assessment is the process of gathering, analyzing, interpreting and using information about students' progress and achievement to improve teaching and learning. Evaluation is the process of determining the value or worth of a program, course, or other initiative, toward the ultimate goal of making decisions about adopting, rejecting, or revising the innovation

To sump up, lesson plan includes aims, objectives, assessment or evaluation and leaning outcome. These are important for me because that is a guideline to write the lesson plan. In addition, If I understand the meaning all of these words I can teach the student correctly. So, these are information that I have to know.

Listening Practice (Week 5)

          Today I was listening to music is walk away, this song can I practice English more.

Walk Away song

Looking back on younger days, the time has passed,
And nothing stays the same. Hey hey hey!
She was such a pretty girl, with glowing eyes and yellow curls. Hey hey hey!
Stars are in a summer night,
She's wishing that they'd fall down through the atmosphere, for a souvenir.
She's waiting for her Superman, her Never land,
Cause he can show the way. Hey hey hey!
Where's her missing piece her mind's been chasing, chasing?

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
You better run away, run away, run away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do,
You better run away, run away, run away.

She's tellin' tales through telephone
That make you cry, chill to the bone. Hey hey hey!
It's lock and key, electrified,
Hide and seek from dirty eyes. Hey hey hey!
Driving in the rain to somewhere far,
But they've got tattoos stamped upon their arms, of her name in hearts
She doesn't understand that love is what you give, not given up.
Hey hey hey!
Where's her missing piece her mind's been chasing, chasing?

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
You better run away, run away, run away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do,
No matter what you say, what you say, what you say.

Yeah you better not sleep, because she's waiting, waiting.
She knows all about you; you're in her aim.

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
You better run away, run away, run away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do,
You better run away, run away, run away

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
You better run away, run away, run away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do,
No matter what you say, what you say, what you say.

Learning Log inside (Week 5)

Today, This is my fifth in curriculum and learning management in English. I have learned about how to create syllabus and in this class.

          Syllabus is an outline or brief statement of the points of discourse or the content of curriculum. If you want to create about syllabus, first, you must set “Goal or Aim” before you do it. Goal and Aim are same meaning. A both are important for syllabus. You can set goal or aim, for example –Students will be able to + V1 (communicate in English), (choose one skill form four such as listening, writing, speaking and reading) or (in macro skill). You can use one thing and the third thing will good to write your goal. Second, you must set objectives (it will support goal or aim). It can divide 2 type are enabling objective and terminal objective. Then, objective should have performance, condition and standard Third, You must set learning outcome. The last, you must set assessment and evaluation. A both are difference meaning. Assessment use to develop and  do during class, but evaluation use to examine or judge carefully and do after class. Learning language has three way: acquisition, learning and studying. So, learning language form is I+1 = comprehensible.

          To sum up, I think I know about how to create syllabus and apply to do it correctly. However, I must practice it until I understand and can apply.
